we're back from our yearly pilgrimage to the maine summer...

and now it's back to work.

i bought this black tea soap from kopah at the brooklyn flea back in june.





isn't it pretty? it also smells like heaven—spicy and warm, just like good black tea—and doesn't make my skin dry. and it's made with all natural ingredients, nothing scary. so of course, i had to stock up.





i love the recycled-magazine packaging, too. thank you, candice!

my stomach is all cramped up, i can barely see through the tears in my eyes, and i drooled a little on my keyboard.

and it's all the fault of cakewrecks.

here's a little sneak peek:



make sure you have a little time to kill before you click...

new custom tablecloth in progress...

also, just wanted to pass along this fantastic foodie site that a friend just showed me.

try not to drool on your keyboard.
